Experience / Qualifications

Born at the end of the 1970s in the Liège region, he is currently based in Brussels. He carries out his musical activities as a pianist within various projects, alongside his activities as a composer and arranger. He plays regularly throughout Belgium and outside.

His numerous activities in musical fields as diverse as jazz, soul music, classical music, French song, cabaret, or even theater and cinema music, gradually make him an eclectic musician whose musical language is imbued with all these influences.

He was trained on classical piano by Piet Kuijken and George Van Dam, and studied jazz with Nathalie Loriers and Eric Legnini. He graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz piano with great distinction. He also holds a director's diploma (Insas).

As a composer, Yannick writes music for his own projects (jazz, cabaret, songs, orchestra, string quartet), and is regularly called upon to compose or make arrangements for other projects (among others: arrangement for orchestra and backing vocals from ABBA, Venusberg / pop cabaret, Julie Chemin album / French song, Remua / orchestra / children's choir, Cookies Films / RTBF, film scores, Alexi Van Stratum / theater music.)

In 2013, he won the prize for Best Film Music for the short film "Premier Pas" by Grégory Lecocq (Naousson International Film Festival, Greece, 250 films in competition, 50 countries represented.)

In 2014, with his jazz quintet 'Gorgona', he released a first album called "Stories & Pictures", where he unleashes his inspiration and performs his instrumental compositions.

Yannick is also involved in musical community life. Thus he is artistic director of "Ars Nova", member of "Lundis d'Hortense", the Belgian association of jazz musicians, member of the 'Facir' (Federation of unified authors, composers and performers), and member of the "Belgian Screen Composers Guild ".

Finally, at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, he teaches writing in classical music, as well as specialized didactics for jazz piano and general jazz training in the pedagogy department. At the Academy of Arts of the City of Brussels, he teaches piano and jazz harmony.

Being highly skilled in sight-reading, I have often realised how valuable and enjoyable it is to possess that “gift.” After more than ten years of teaching students of different levels and aspirations, I have observed a common thread: regardless of their goals, all were eager to improve their ability to read and interpret new, unfamiliar music.

Currently, I am developing a multifaceted approach designed to help students understand a composition at first sight. This method combines specific pattern recognition and structural score-mapping, anchored in a fundamental understanding of rhythm, pitch, and harmony, together with highly effective practice and memorization strategies personalized to each student's needs and technical challenges.

For over ten years, I have been teaching students of all ages and levels. In addition to regular lessons, I offer the opportunities to perform at the yearly class concert as well as dedicated preparation for ABRSM piano examinations.

I'm a pianist with extensive performing experience on international stages and a first-prize winner of more than 30 international piano competitions across Europe and USA. I hold a Master's degree and four Postgraduate degrees (piano and chamber music) from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.

I'm looking for student's who not only want to learn a great technique for singing but whom also want to find and develop their own unique sound so they can express themselves through the art of song and tell a story.

I am a trained singer- songwriter & professional musician with a BA (hons) in Composition. Originally from london I moved to Brussels to do my masters degree. I am a trained singing with a level of grade 8, I have also spent the last 6 years touring as a front women and also a backing singing with various artists around europe, including 1 top 10 artist. I understand that although it's great to have a strong technique it's also about letting go and having confidence in your ability so you can relax in the moment.

I welcome students of all levels and all ages and teach a range of genres from Jazz to Rock. Alternatively I am happy to focus on technique if that is something you prefer to work on.

So, if you're a aspiring singer looking to find your own unique coach I am here to help!

In French :
For almost ten years, my method has strived to move away from those found at the Academy, sometimes considered austere and outdated. In my opinion, the student is the main actor in his learning, and the teacher should be his caring guide. In my opinion, his role is to provide him with appropriate help and support, and not to impose pre-established rules that do not take into account his unique needs.
The image of the harsh and cold teacher should therefore be forgotten with me. My philosophy is always to encourage without imposing.
The student will also have the opportunity to have access to a much broader repertoire than that imposed in classical education. Thus, he will be able to play his favorite music from all walks of life, whether it be themes from songs, plays, films, series or even video games. Of course, I also encourage classical music, as long as the student finds pleasure in it, which remains and will remain the most important for me.
After all, what is music if not the purest and universal essence of our humanity, which brings together and unites our hearts and minds?
In English:
Over a decade of teaching, I have developed a method of teaching piano that differs from the ones found in the academic environment. For me, the student should be at the center of his learning journey. The teacher should be a guide who provides the student with tailor-made help and support, without forcing preexisting rules that don't reflect the unique needs of each student.
No cold, strict or ill-tempered teaching on my watch! My philosophy goes by the following: always encourage, never impose.
The student also has the opportunity to explore a much larger repertoire than the one imposed in classical education. He/She has the freedom to play any music from all backgrounds, including songs, shows, movies, series or even video games. Of course I also encourage classical music, as long as the student enjoys it, which will always be the most important part for me.
After all, what is music, if not the purest and most universal essence of our humanity, the one that connects our hearts and souls?

I suggest you improve your saxophone and music practice by focusing on learning melody by ear and developing improvisation.

As for instrumental technique, I can teach you how to place your fingers properly to develop your virtuosity, to have a tonic air column and a good embouchure to develop your sound and to work on articulation to improve your phrasing. All this is acquired little by little by playing specific exercises and solos, pieces or saxophone studies.
Through learning the instrument I also suggest you develop your musical qualities which are essential to progress and have fun playing. By learning and memorizing melodies or solos by ear, you develop your ear, your sense of rhythm and your memory. Free improvisation allows you to develop your inner singing and your musical personality. Finally, working with a metronome or directly on recordings will help you improve your rhythmic ear.
All this is aimed at allowing the greatest possible freedom with one's instrument as well as the development of a personal aesthetic.

I started learning the saxophone at the conservatory 7 years ago. I started with jazz then curiosity pushed me to study classical saxophone for 3 years before specializing in tenor and jazz. I had many saxophone teachers (Eric Barret, Pascal Gaubert, Sylvain Rifflet, Sylvain Cathala...) and today I have a bachelor's degree at the Royal Conservatory with Fabrice Alleman and Manu Hermia.

I have played the saxophone in many different contexts, often in jazz in small groups or in a Big Band, in classical solo or in a quartet and also with pop groups on stage or in the studio.

I have always loved passing on what I have learned, so I have been teaching beginners/amateurs for 4 years, always with the aim of developing the pleasure of playing and regularity of practice.
